PHOENIX — Republican gubernatorial hopeful Andy Biggs has chosen a former state senator who sought to define in state law who is male and who is female as his running mate.
In an announcement Friday morning, Biggs said he chose Sine Kerr at least in part because she is a dairy farmer. That is a sharp contrast from the gubernatorial hopeful who was trained as a lawyer but has spent much of his career in politics.
“She knows Arizona’s agricultural community as well as anyone and has the respect of farmers, ranchers, and policy makers from around the state,” Biggs said in a prepared statement. He specifically cited her work in securing $1 billion in 2022 for the state’s Water Infrastructure Finance Authority to find new sources of water, something that has included efforts at desalination.
